My current work PC is going out (I think it had an electrical spike) so I am trying to decide on a new PC to bring to my owner. I mainly do AutoCAD, A ton of Take offs using Bluebeam and office/access tasks.
my current pc has a i7-6700, 16 gigs of ram, 512 gig nvme. used to have a GTX 980 but it stopped working (when I think the pc had the elec. spike) so I am using Onboard video to push (2) 4K 27" dell monitors
the system ran great until the gtx stopped working and I had to start using onboard video. processing pdfs now take longer, AutoCAD lags (to be expected without video card).
so I have been looking at two Units at micro center.
one is a Ryzen 7 5700G, 16 gigs of ram, 1 tb NVMe SSD, but uses AMDs new Onboard Graphics $799
the other is Intel i5-10400 F, 16 gigs of ram, 500 gb NVMe, but has a 1660 Super but cost ($50 more than option above) $849
so my question is, do you think it is work downgrading the CPU to pick up the 1660 Super or is the new AMD Onboard graphics enough to run AutoCAD and large PDF files (Architectural Plans)
Thanks,
Rip
